Taurus was created in 1968, 3 years prior to Stairway To Heaven.
Now, the 9th United States Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has actually promoted a 2016 test decision that discovered Led Zeppelin did not duplicate it.
Stairway To Heaven on a regular basis shows up on listings of the best rock tunes ever before created, and also the situation has actually been among the songs market’s longest-running and also closely-watched conflicts.
Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and also guitar player Jimmy Page, that composed the tune, can have dealt with a costs for countless bucks in problems if they had actually shed.
The Spirit tune was created by the band’s guitar player guitar player Randy Wolfe, called Randy California, that passed away in1997 The situation was brought by Michael Skidmore, a trustee for his estate.

But The Eagles did rip-off Hotel California from Jethro Tull.
I think it was a computer-written article. Or maybe the author is ESL.
God-awful writing, like it was from Chinese for instructions.
Never knew there was any controversy over copycatting for “the greatest song ever”.
Now Ghostbusters, and Hey Jude, yes.
And all Chuck’s children are playing his licks. Please send all royalties to Mr. Berry’s estate (Dick Dale’s estate has a ton of royalties coming too).
Computers can write articles?........................
Idiotic laws, idiotic lawsuit. Even if Page/Plant ripped it off, the author himself lived 25 more years and chose NOT to bring suit during the applicable statute of limitations. Now, 20 years after he dies, his “estate” is allowed to bring suit because some reissue of Stairway “restarted” the statute of limitations, or some such nonsense?
Chuck ripped it off from Marty McFly, his cousin Marvin was in on it.
They stole it.
“can have dealt with a costs for countless bucks in problems if they had actually shed.”
LOL
“Bad decision. They ripped Spirit off.”

Yes, did “steal” it from Spirit. But the truth is that all music stands on the shoulders of previous compositions. It’s a moot point when you realize that all music uses a scale invented 500 years ago.
John Cage ripped off Marcel Marceau with 4’ 33”.
But the Trashmen totally ripped of the Rivingtons.

That has to be one of the worst-written articles ever. It reads like the illegitimate offspring of a very poor babelfish translator and a random-word generator.
I don’t hear it. Too much of a difference.
